研究概览
简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a physiotherapy technique known as manual traction on patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The focus is on two key outcomes: improvement in knee pain, stiffness, and function, measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and levels of CTX-II, a marker for cartilage breakdown. By comparing these measurements before and after the therapy, the study seeks to determine if manual traction can provide relief and slow cartilage deterioration in knee OA patients

结局指标
主要结局
The main outcomes of this study are the change in the WOMAC score and the levels of CTX-II.
时间窗: The main outcome of this study will be assessed at baseline and immediately after the last manual traction session (session 8) in the fourth week.
次要结局
- The secondary outcome of this research is side effects of manual traction intervention(The side effects of manual traction intervention are assessed 5–15 minutes after each intervention.)
